How to Order at 7 Brew: Beginner Guide (2026)
First 7 Brew run? The two-lane drive-thru, the shouted greetings, the menu board full of names like Blondie and Brunette — it can feel like a lot. It is not. Ordering at 7 Brew follows one simple formula, and this beginner’s guide walks you through it: sizes, customising, the secret menu, the app, and drive-thru etiquette. Current as of October 10, 2026.
Know your sizes
Every 7 Brew drink comes in three sizes: Small (16oz), Medium (24oz), and Large (32oz) — hot, iced, or chilled. The medium is the sweet spot for most people and the best value per ounce. See our 7 Brew prices guide for what each size costs across the menu.
The ordering formula
- Pick a base: coffee, 7 Energy, tea, lemonade, smoothie, or shake.
- Pick a size: small, medium, or large.
- Pick your flavours: one, two, or a full combination.
- Pick your milk: whole, skim, oat, almond, coconut, or breve.
- Add extras: cold foam, an extra shot, extra sweet, light ice, or a sugar-free swap.
That is the whole formula — the crew builds drinks from it all day. Going low-sugar? Our sugar-free guide covers that version of the formula.
How customising works
Almost everything is customisable. Swap milks freely, mix flavours, adjust sweetness (“half-sweet” is a common request), add an extra espresso shot, or ask for light ice. Sugar-free syrup swaps are usually the same price. If you are unsure, just describe what you like — the crew will build something to match. That is genuinely part of the job.
Ordering from the secret menu
The secret menu is real and the crew knows it — but order by recipe, not just by name. “Medium iced Blondie with caramel drizzle” works better than a fan-made name they may not recognise. Browse our secret menu page, screenshot your pick, and read the recipe at the window.
Order ahead in the app
Running late? Order ahead in the 7 Brew app and skip the line — your drink is ready when you roll up. The app also tracks your rewards points, which you earn simply by giving your phone number at the stand.
Drive-thru tips for first-timers
- Know your order before you reach the speaker — the line moves fast.
- Have your size, flavour combination, and milk choice ready.
- Two lanes: pull into the shorter one; both keep moving.
- Pay at the window — card, cash, and gift cards all work.
- Do not be shy about asking questions; first-timer questions are completely normal.

FAQs
What are the sizes at 7 Brew?
Small (16oz), Medium (24oz), and Large (32oz) — hot, iced, or chilled.
How do I order a secret menu drink?
Order by recipe — size, base, flavours, and extras — not just by the fan-made name.
Can I order ahead on the 7 Brew app?
Yes — order ahead in the app and skip the drive-thru line.
Do I need the app to earn rewards?
No — sign up with your phone number at the stand. The app just makes tracking easier.
Do I need the 7 Brew app to order?
No — you can order at the speaker or window like everyone else. The app is handy for tracking rewards, but your phone number does the same job.
Can I use my own cup?
Most stands happily fill a clean travel mug. Expect a size down — a 20oz tumbler pours closest to a small. Ask at the window before ordering.
How do I order a half-sweet drink?
Just say “half-sweet” at the speaker — most drinks can be dialed back on syrups. You can also ask for “light ice” or “extra sweet” the same way.
